'The US is now a soccer nation'
Britain's so-called 'special relationship' with the United States may be under renewed scrutiny, but when it comes to football, it appears to be in fine health.
The chief executive of US Soccer has hailed the FA's role in the establishment of a "transformative" new 200-acre national training centre outside Atlanta.
JT Batson said officials from the governing body had been "incredible partners in helping us learn from what works well in England".
"That certainly factored into our thinking around the building of a national centre, as well as the designing of what we've called the 'US Way', which is our strategy for sporting success," he said.
